Is there a built in function for sorting characters in a string?

[jackdaniels]

I have a data set that is summarised to show permutations but I am only interested in combinations. Is there a quick way to alphabetically sort the characters within each string per row?

FIELD

AAAA

BAAA

AABA

ABBA

BAAB

BBBB

ABAB

ABAA

I'm not sure there is a way to sort the characters with a single cell, but I did create a workflow that does that for you in a couple tools. First, add a RecordID tool then use the RegEx tool to tokenize your field to put each character on its own row. From here, you can sort the characters then concatenate them again.

Thank you! This works and can be implemented further up the workflow.
